Bath re-enamelling in Middle Crackington, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Middle Crackington

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

Questions from Middle Crackington

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Middle Crackington and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Middle Crackington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Middle Crackington and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
